IMPROVEMENT IN srovss.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARY A.

My invention relates to an improvement in stoves; and it consists incombining together both a heating and a cooking stove, so that the heatmay be used for heating the room alone, or be made to pass from theheatingstove through the cooking-stove, and thus cook and bake the food,as will be more fully described hereinafter.

The accompanying drawing represents my invention.

a represents a common heating-stove of any desired construction, inwhich either wood or coal may be burned, and which is provided with apipe, 0, for carrying off the products of combustion, and a damper, d,in the same.

Formed with or united to the rear end of this heating-stove is acooking-stove, e, of any suitable size, shape, or construction, andbetween the two stoves are placed the two dampers g it.

When it is desired to use the stove a for heating the room alone, thetwo dampers g h are closed, and the damper d in the pipe 0 is openedjust enough to control the heat to any desired degree.

When it is desired to cook articles that are placed on top of the stove,the dampers d h are closed, and the one 9 at the rear upper edge of thestove is opened, when the heat and products of combustion at once passinto the top of the stove along under the holes j and out the pipe l.

When it is desired to use the stove e for baking purposes, the dampers dg are closed, and the one It at the lower edge of the stove a is opened,so that the heat and products of combustion will pass directly under theoven .and up out the pipe I.
